Nature and Parks in Madrid

"This romantic jewel is part of the Museo del Romanticismo, itself housed in a 1776 ornate palace that was once belonged to a marquis. An open secret among Madrileños, the garden allows visitors to isolate themselves from the noise of the popular Malasaña neighborhood. The garden cafe here — with its patio full of plants and trees, a decorative fountain, and tables scattered here and there — is a great place for a chill afternoon coffee. Visiting the garden is free, and it’s open every day during regular museum business hours." - MATADOR_NETWORK

Plan a Summer Stay in Salesas, Madrid’s Smallest Neighborhood | Vogue

"Tucked into a pink, 18th-century mansion, this museum sheds light on the day-to-day life of Madrid’s high bourgeoisie during the Romantic period. It’s a fitting way to start a visit to Salesas, giving you context for the lives that unfolded in the barrio’s now repurposed mansions during their heyday, and locals love its courtyard garden, which serves as a calm, cool respite from the beautiful chaos of the neighborhood." - Elizabeth Wellington Rollins

This wonderful mansion has been beautifully preserved, and is filled with the most extraordinary collection of romantic artwork, furnishing and sculpture. The collection includes beautiful clocks in laid tables. furniture, and wonderful paintings. Set over two floors you are taken back in time to an era of elegance and high decoration. It is a beautiful example of the romantic period and well worth a visit.

Superb museum - 100% recommend it. If you enjoy lovely furniture, clocks, decor, and art, this is one for you. Of course it's not the Palace or the Prado, but it's genuinely wonderful (and was our 'best of the rest' by a mile - and we visited a lot of them!).

If antique art and interiors are of interest to you then you'll enjoy a visit to this house very much. It's collection of art, curio's, furniture etc is absolutely wonderful. So glad I found it while visiting Madrid.

This is my favourite museum in Madrid and I’ve been here over 5 times. It’s lesser known, quaint, well-organized, and accessible with wheelchairs available on premises for visitors. It takes about 1 hour to complete. Their coffee shop and garden were exquisite - however, they are currently closed for reconstruction.

Beautiful place with very helpful and knowledgible staff. A real hidden gem. Takes just over an hour to see it all properly.

It looks small hidden in a narrow ally but actually it’s like a palace. Very beautiful with a lot of classic paintings. The ticket is only 3€ and no many crowds

My colleague suggested I stop in here, as it is one of her favorite museums, and I’m so glad I did! The rooms are absolutely breathtaking, and now I just want to go and find the cutest settee for my house. A must see destination when visiting Madrid, it’s smaller for a museum, so it only took me about an hour, but so worth it!

Pleasant little museum worth an hour visit in a historic restored house on beautiful grounds. Paintings and artifats from late Rennaisance to Victorian Age, its focus is on the Romantic Period, hence the name. It's much easier than the Golden Triangle of Madrid art museums, so it's good on an afternoon jaunt into the Chambri area where you'll find the Madrid history museum right nearby, the Mercado Barcelo and other shops, cafes, restaurants so you can make a whole afternoon of it. Not too from here are the Sorollo museum, the Real Madrid stadium, and a few (!) Michelin star restaurants. This museum is right off the Tribunal metro stop. If you're staying nearby, like at Hotel Saldinero, well then you really should stop by and take a gander. Don't miss the big doll house with the tiny dancer holograms.

This is one of the coolest museums I've ever been in. You're transported back in time, and I am obsessed with all the clocks, settees, and poufs all over. The colors. The colors!!!!!! I need an emerald green couch now STAT. I'm obsessed. There's no other word for it. My colleague told me to go here and I'm soooo glad she did or I'd have missed out on seeing all this amazing furniture. You think you're on a Bridgerton set, I swear. It's a smaller museum and takes about an hour, if was only a 3€ admission too, and it's so so so worth it! Go go go go go!

We went on a Sunday so it was free. It's worth a visit as it's cheap and there are some beautiful pieces in the rooms. It wasn't overly crowded. Employee at the front desk was nice. Plan to spend an hour or more depending on how fast you go through each area and if you take any pictures.

I really liked this place. Entry fee was only 3 euros, I think. We got in free with the National Museum Card (which you can buy at the Prado or other large museums- gets you in free to all the national museums of Spain). You enter the museum and get a guide book which is very helpful. You follow the guidebook through the traditional rooms of the house- vestibule, antechamber, salan, ballroom, living room, antechamber to chapel, chapel (and there's a Goya in the chapel!!!), boudoir, bedroom (ladies and man's) children's playroom (with a very sad statue of a dead child), smoking room, bathroom (with a king's upholstered toilet stool- I wish I could remember which king.) The empire furniture was stunning, and I really enjoyed the paintings. The rooms with the "country people" paintings were especially interesting. If you have time, this is quite a nice place to visit and you will learn a lot in a short time. It reminds me a lot of the fully furnished canal house museums in Amsterdam- you really get a feel for what it must have been like to be rich in Madrid in the past. The area around it is quaint- and it's not a bad walk from this museum to the archeological museum (which is in back of the national library).

I go to a LOT of museums and this one underwhelmed me. I was very excited since most of the reviews are five stars, but I'm failing to see what merited the glowing reviews. It was a nice enough house museum, and their guidebook did a decent job explaining the different rooms, but it left me wanting something. I can't quite put my finger on it. If you really want an insight into this particular error of Spanish aristocracy living, then this is for you. However, I didn't get a real sense of the family that lived there --which I feel like I've seen other museums convey successfully. This had a sterile feel to it. Seeing the royal toilet was interesting, and there were a few lovely fans and jewelry and doll houses. I would have liked to gotten a better feel for day to say life. They explain in the guidebook what each room was used for, but it still didn't paint the picture for me. Loved the saturated wall colors, and wish they had done more with the dollhouse with the videos of "everyday life" --that was a neat feature. Only €3 per person, but you must have a 1€ coin to use the mandatory lockers. Photos without flash are ok.

Uno de los más desconocidos e inesperados museos de la ciudad. Un elegante viaje a una época mágica. Te sumerges en la vida diaria del momento a través de un recorrido por una casa palacio. Altamente recomendable. Imprescindible no perderse un café en el jardín de la cafetería.
